Additional Comments:

In Our Own Voice

In Our Own Voice presentations change attitudes, assumptions, and stereotypes about people with mental health conditions. These no-cost, 40-, 60- or 90-minute presentations provide a personal perspective of mental illness, as presenters with lived experience share their stories. Our trained presenters humanize the misunderstood, highly stigmatized topic of mental illness by showing that it is possible, and common, to live well with a mental health condition.
